Packers' Profits Are Regulated The public should understand that the profits of the packers have been limited by the Food Administration since November 1, 1917. For this pur pose, the business of Swift & Company is now divided into three classes: Class 1 includes such products as beef, pork, mutton, oleomargarine and others that are essentially animal products. Profits are limited to 9 per cent of the capital employed in these departments, (including sur plus and borrowed money), or not to exceed two and a half cents on each dollar of sales. Class 2 includes the soap, glue, fertilizer, and other departments more or less associated with the meat business. Many of these de partments are in competition with outside businesses whose profits are not limited. Profits in this class are restricted to 15 per cent of the capital employed. Class 3 includes outside investments, such as those in stock yards, and the operation of packing plants in foreign countries. Profits in this class are not limited. Total profits for all departments together in 1918 will probably be between three and four per cent on an increased volume of sales. The restrictions absolutely guar antee a reasonable relation between live stock prices and wholesale meat prices, because the packer’s profit can not possibly average more than a fraction of a cent per pound of product. Since the profits on meat (Class 1) are running only about 2 cents on each dollar of sales, we have to depend on the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other depart ments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital. Swift & Company is conducting its business so as to come within these limitations. Swift & Company, U. S A.

Board this week sent out questionnaires to those who registered last Saturday and it is expected they will be rteu'-ned and the men classified in ample time for them to be inane ted in one of the several calls expected during the month of September. Of course quite a number of question naires will go before the District Board sitting at Rome and it is realized that the routine through which they must go will take several weeks. For that reason local officers lost no time in getting out the questionnaires. Those who registered last Saturday were: Marion Franklin Atkins (Wh.) R. 1. Rydal, Ga. Sherman Armstrong (Col.) Emerson.

Many of the young men who regis tered last Saturday, August 24th, will have opportunity to enter military service even head of those who registered last June 5. This develop ed this week when the Selective Service Law Officers announced the method of assigning order number to the new registrants. There will be no lottery in Wash ington to decide the liability of these registrants. Instead, Provost Mar shal General Crowder has directed that the last lottery holds good for this registration, this giving each man an opportunity- to learn at an early date just where he stands. The registration number to be given each man who registered last Saturday will take its place in the list of order numbers just as if he had been drawn in the last lottery. In other words if a man draws registration number 200, his order number will be determined by the place number 200 holds in the mas- ! ter key fixed through the Washing- ' ington drawing. If registration num ber 200 calls for order number 537, such will be the new registrant’s order number. If one of the regis trants of June 5 should have the order number 537, the new regis trant would be given order number 537-A, and so on. Thus, by refer ence to the master key each man can immediately be given a definite 1 place in the order number list. Women of Cherokee Association |Vill Meet at Cassville Tlie W. M.
